UPDATE: We’re proud and thrilled to announce that our 2015 Minneapolis show will be hosted by Fulton Brewing at its Northeast Minneapolis brewery. This will be our ninth show in Minneapolis, and we’re pulling out all the stops to make it the biggest and best bike art party in the history of ever.

First step: Assemble a roster of top-notch Twin Cities creative talent to make bike-inspired poster art. If you’re a designer, illustrator, artist or creative type who loves bicycles, here’s what you need to know:

CALL FOR ARTISTSWe are now accepting artist submissions for our 2015 show. Please note that we have a strict locals-only policy, and will only consider artists who live and work in the greater Twin Cities area.

To be considered for the show, send three digital samples of previous art and design work (URLs, JPGs, PDFs, etc.) to us via email.

While we definitely look for experience with screen-printing, letterpress and other craft printing techniques, your samples do not need to be posters and/or bike-related — just work that shows your skills and style.

Please do not submit proposed/spec poster designs — only artists who are selected for the show will be asked to create new work. We’ll share specific guidelines for the show with all prospective artists who submit work for consideration.

Please check back for updates, and follow ARTCRANK on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for the latest news. And if you’d like to see photos and videos from previous events, connect with us on Flickr and Vimeo as well. See you soon!
